A team of scientists from Japan has recently investigated the neutralizing potency of convalescent sera against currently circulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants with multiple spike mutations. The study’s findings reveal that the variants containing Y543F or N501Y spike mutations are capable of evading neutralization by SARS-CoV-2-induced […]
